Default RE: Large Skymaster Hawk build

The elevator servos are mounted at the very back under a shroud. Currently there's no support for the servos just the 0.5mm or so of glass. Using some ply I made a plate that's epoxied under the area the servos will be mounted. I've also added some carbon sheet to stop the L brackets digging in which could alter the geometry creating a small amount of binding. Overkill I know but I would prefer it this way especially on the stabilizer! plus I'd run out of G10 so carbon it was.......

With this done my attention turned to the stab bearing block. I've replaced the bolts with high tensile steel and used aeronuts as these are far more tolerant to temperature. (The pipe sits near to these fixings) I've used carbon sheet on the inside to avoid the washers pulling into the ply and creating slop. The fittings for the stab were again changed to high tensile steel...........

There's lots of hardware missing so I'm using my own nuts and bolts linkages etc... as I said this model had previously been unpacked and put together for static a few times so probably why some bits have disappeared....

Cheers, Alex
